Hi all. I'm scheduled tomorrow at 1230 for surgery and was still waiting on one clearance from the endocrinologist. I got it today at 730am! I'm a ball of emotions. I haven't really dealt with the fact that I'm having surgery because I didn't know own it I was going to. Now I'm just a wreck.

Keep me in your prayers tomorrow! I'm freaking out lol.

Good luck to all the sleevers this week and all of December. <3

You will be a surgery rock star :) Is there anything specific that you are freaking out about?

Just the fact that I'm having surgery. I've never been put under before. I have a two year old and don't really think I came to terms with the fact that I am having surgery until today. It has been so up in the air. It's now all very real ;-)

I've never been put under either. I am scared of that. I tell myself "thousands of people do it everyday"... but I don't if that really helps me lol. How long is your expected stay at the hospital? Have you planned what you will bring?

They said one to two nights. Just bringing two sets of comfy clothes, robe, slippers phone and chapstick ;-). Making it simple. Have to be there at 1030 tomorrow.

I say the same thing people have surgery all the time and are fine.

I find that planning and focusing on the simple and tangible things can keep me from freaking out too much. So I like to make lists and such :). I read on here that gas-x strips are a must have. I haven't asked my dr about that yet.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
